Comfortable pants: Jeans or casual pants that allow you to move freely while strumming your ukulele.
🌔 Evening:
Warmer layers: As temperatures drop in the evening, a cozy sweater or a stylish jacket will keep you warm and camera-ready.
Closed-toe shoes: For extra warmth and comfort during nighttime activities.

Comfortable shoes are a must for walking and standing throughout the event. Sneakers or casual shoes are ideal.

Sunglasses and a hat to protect against the desert sun during the day.
Light scarf or beanie for those who get chilly as the evening sets in.
